MongoDB as windows service and setting up replicaSet

Not covering the service part.

but setting up sharded replica set. Try this blog to setup mongodb cluster on your local, it has all the configuration files with windows script to create required folder structure.

You can set up replica set and MongoDB service at the same time on Windows. Since you have already set up a replica set, you are aware that you need to have a data directory and a log file for each replica set member. If you are running all replica set members on a single machine, each replica set member must be assigned a different port number. The sample provided is for development or functional testing only. Setting up all replica set members on a single machine will constitute a single point of failure in addition to being a total performance drag.

Create a configuration file for each replica set member including data directory, log file, port number, and replica set name. For example, I have a replica set of 3 members, one primary Mongodb running on port 27017 and two secondary, Mongodb1 on port 37017, and Mongodb2 on port 47017. The replica set name is rs1.

Here is the configuration file for instance Mongodb.

# mongod.conf

# data directory
dbpath=C:\data\db

# log file
logpath=C:\mongodb-win32-i386-2.4.4\log\mongo.log

logappend=true

#port number 
port=27017

#replica set name
replSet=rs1

Here is the configuration file for one of the secondaries.

# mongo.conf

# data directory
dbpath=C:\data\db2

# log file
logpath=C:\mongodb-win32-i386-2.4.4\log2\mongo.log

logappend=true

# port number
port=47017

# replica set name
replSet=rs1

The following link provides a complete list of configuration file options: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/configuration-options/

Add all three MongoDB instances as Windows service. Since I did not specify the service and service display name, the MongoDB service will use the default service/service display name MongoDB

C:\mongodb-2.4.4\bin>mongod --config C:\mongodb-2.4.4\mongod.cfg --install

Install the other two MongoDB instances with service name and service display name.

C:\mongodb-2.4.4\bin>mongod --config C:\mongodb-2.4.4\mongod1.cfg --serviceName MongoDB1 --serviceDisplayName MongoDB1 --install
C:\mongodb-2.4.4\bin>mongod --config C:\mongodb-2.4.4\mongod2.cfg --serviceName MongoDB2 --serviceDisplayName MongoDB2 --install

Start all three instances of MongDB

C:\mongodb-2.4.4\bin>net start mongodb
The Mongo DB service is starting.
The Mongo DB service was started successfully.

C:\mongodb-2.4.4\bin>net start mongodb1
The MongoDB1 service is starting.
The MongoDB1 service was started successfully.

C:\mongodb-2.4.4\bin>net start mongodb2
The MongoDB2 service is starting.
The MongoDB2 service was started successfully.

Verify the status of all three Windows service using the sc command with query option.

C:\mongodb-2.4.4\bin>sc query mongodb
C:\mongodb-2.4.4\bin>sc query mongodb1
C:\mongodb-2.4.4\bin>sc query mongodb2

Configure replica set from MongoDB shell. In the following example, the MongoDB instance on port 27017 will be the primary replica set member.

C:\mongodb-2.4.4\bin>mongo --port 27017

Set replica set configuration from MongoDB shell.

> config = { _id: "rs1", members:[
... { _id : 0, host : "localhost:27017"},
... { _id : 1, host : "localhost:37017"},
... { _id : 2, host : "localhost:47017"}
... ] }

At MongoDB shell, initialize the replica set and verify its status.

> rs.initiate(config)
{
        "info" : "Config now saved locally.  Should come online in about a minute.",
        "ok" : 1
}
> rs.status()

rs1:PRIMARY>

You can also check the status of the secondaries. Here I am connecting to one of the secondaries on port 37017.

C:\mongodb-2.4.4\bin>mongo --port 37017

The following prompt will present in MongoDB shell showing the secondary status.

rs1:SECONDARY>
